Restoring 1971 Plymouth Satellite's Former Glory! | Roadkill Garage | MotorTrend 

Do you like how the Satellite turned out?

71/72 were the best years for the Satellite/RR/GTX in my opinion. Keep going with this one gentlemen, it's a badass! 🤘😎🤘

I love how the Satellite turned out, especially since I have one, but it's a highly modified '72 "Resto-mod Road Runner" with a poked and stroked 440 that is now a 528ci tire frying beast! I grew up working on and riding in my brothers (who is 10 years older than I am) '71 383 powered Road Runner and it has been my favorite car of all time ever since. I was into 4X4 trucks for many years but after helping my four kids buy, do any repairs, and teach them how to properly maintain their own car (or truck) I decided it was time for dad to buy myself something I had always wanted, so I found a rust free '72 440 Road Runner from Arizona and bought it to build dad's (and now grandpa eight times over!) full scale "Hot wheels" car! I've watched the episode about Freiburger's favorite RR at least a dozen times when I'm bored!

My first car was a 71 satellite with a 400 engine, and 2 barrel carter carb, and a 727 slapstick trans. We put a lot of work into that car trying to get it to pass smog. (Back then California required a smog cert on that year). We kept getting bad new carbs and the car would not pass the smog test. About 4 new carbs later we finally got a good carb, passed smog and I drove it for a few months. Until it threw a rod. It was a great first car, I bought it from a neighbor for $300. Paid for it with my own money I made working as a stock boy in the local mini mart gas station. Watching this brought back a lot of good memories.

If the big yellow Ford truck suddenly comes up missing its hood scoop, I don't know anything about it!

To protect internals of an engine that has been setting for a year or more, 1. remove plugs 2. spray lub in cylinders 3. change oil/filter 4. crank over with no plugs in, till oil pressure is up in order to lube bearings/valve train 5. put new plugs/wires in with fresh gas and try. That helps reduces dry start valve chatter or other possible damage.

Roadkill should have more spots on the moter trend channel.

I loved David's remark " you just have to coddle that garbage " 😂

God i love that car i want it so Bad! Its looks so Cool! Who doesn't want it!!

No jackstands that’s nuts. I love it 😮

Love the sound of those classic shrieking starters. Used to know who had a Mopar in the neighborhood by the mere sound.

Good lookin' haircut, Dulcich.

The sparking water pump is one of those things that will fix itself after a few minutes

The satellite is probably one of my favorite cars ever

please bring roadkill back to the EU. i've been watching it since 2012 :/

My first car was a 72 satellite. Loved it. Just a 318/727 car, and now 18 years later I'm shopping for a Roadrunner.

Harbor freight Jack for the win

Fresh restoration from Mother nature, she's a beauty!!

Nice television haircut Steve

GREAT VIDEO STEVE AND DAVID!!!! I LOVE IT!!! THE PERFECT DAILY DRIVER!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

That factory paint has to be very rare for that year and option package. I hope it gets the love it should

I love you guys!

Another job well done! Did I see Tru Spokes on that car to begin with? They'd probably look good on a C body!

Man this is an old episode

That's just plum crazy

I'm so happy to see dulich

Great 👍 content guys. Had one of those in 80 with a 318, great car. Thanks for sharing 😊.

True animal lover,he didn’t even leave me the dog!

Istimewa..

Good job figuring out how to get that old Satellite running again.

love it ;)

I had a 72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus with a 383 from '70 fury police car I used to race with a steady 13-second quarter mile an occasional high 12 second. I just loved the fat round fenders and that big chrome bumper (40+ pounds worth) Mine came with a 383 auto from the factory blew that one and put in the cop car motor.

Show idea Between everything at The Dulcich Grape Ranch, and everything Freiberger has, you get as many of them heaps running as you can in one thrash of a show.

too funny lol love two :)

Steve got a haircut 👍

Freiburger must be Beavis because Dulcich looks exactly like Butt-head. This body style was a huge improvement over the 70 and older. In fact I consider it one of the very best looking cars Chrysler Corp. ever made. I absolutely love the show. They speaka my language (You can't see me, but I'm shaking my hand with my fingers all extended and touching each other in the typical pizano gesture)😉

Cool

Will you please get Steve a lift for his shop!!! Im willing to bet you have some good connections

I had a383 in my dodge work van! Burn outs all day

What happened to this car? Will we see a build series on Roadkill Garage?

MENTAL. !! 😃

Is this an old episode? They look younger than I've seen them in the recent past.

R u guys those fancy scientists? Pull the plugs out brush them off and when you replace them put 4 shots of starting fluid in each cylinder and keep your fingers crossed .

Can't afford M/T with job injury I'm now disabled so I LOVE when you guys allow some videos here on RU-vid. /⁠ᐠ⁠｡⁠ꞈ⁠｡⁠ᐟ⁠\

I've got a 1972 my favorite car mine is a ssp with a 318 but a 76mm turbo need to find the vynal roof trim

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩‼️🔝🇧🇷 Very Nice 🔥🔥🔥

Not bad

That car has moxy. Sort it out...and take us along for the ride.

Steve cut his hair. He looks good.

dark metallic green for paint

Here's a name for it, Satelblight.

This is what happens when you don't use a Thermoquad. ('71 was the first year)

I’m getting a 64 tempest for free, the 326 is stuck. Any tips on getting it unstuck?

6:55 it can't be that bad that he needs to bring in the Armed Task Force /s

Thats the one they sold Wyley, the drone pilot camera man

If that happens to you cut the rubber out of the radiator cap. With no pressure the leak is much smaller. Get you home.

Should I buy this subscription again

Steve doesn't look homeless like tike the later episodes

Flip the 4 barrel adapter for a 2 barrel carb on a 4 barrel intake to make your gas last longer and make your dad pissed

Are those maui Jim glasses

I have experienced backfires

Is that a ram charger in the back ?! 👀

Steve wears nicer clothes to crawl under and wrench the starter than I do to go to church

9:00 that garbage would take a serious amount of work to make it road legal here in Ireland.

Man look whoever’s operate in his motor trend right here. I ain’t doing very well job because we’ve seen all the shows already. What is the Woodward Ave., Pauline races that can you tell me that were you putting all that stuff because I seen it off of here

I miss Steve original teeth.

cool wheels btw, how come no one puts wire wheels on them

when is freiberger going to play with the 6.6 400ci engines? same stroke as a 383, but a bigger bore than a 440!

Bummer.I guess that 383 wasn't all it's cracked up to be..../I'll see myself out.

so the cars to filthy and nasty for the dog but is ok for you two.l likesteve Steves haircut for once he doesn't look like a homeless guy living behind a Safeway.Steve is truly the calif. mopar king.and doesn't do a bad job growing grapes.

The Tru's looked hideous on that car. Love the look of the classic CL.

Did I justn hear that firing order correctly. Seems the same as big & small chevy engines.

I think I speak for everyone when I say plz restore the car or a car

Paint it purple again

i see burnt paint and melted plastic, was this a victim from the cali fires?

How much do you want for the car?

Yeah but the hotwheels are always great on any muscle car

Sometimes if you leave minor body/chassis damage alone cars turn better . Everyone knows that .

The 2 barrel/4barrel adapter makes as much sense as ye' Olde 8 track/cassette adapter. The only reason for either one is not a valid reason for their existence.

That's a real POS lol

HOW CAN YOU WATCH FULL EPISODES IF YOUR NOT IN THE US???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'd love to know how you pissed off Dulcich to leave you standing there with nothing but the camera man to talk to.

Don't hit the Dart.

🫂🇵🇷👍

Aren’t you supposed to use that anticoagulant stuff so the rings aren’t coming out of retirement after? Years . Sheesh

she drove a plymouth satellite ...

As much I love you guys and love your show but I would love to see you guys actually get serious and actually restore a car. Hot rod, street car, restore to factory doesn't matter.

Real life wire wheels leave them

David F has such a huge ego and his arrogance level is off the charts.

look at that horrible excuse of an air filter
